ABOUT THE ROLE

Imagine this — You’re standing on the deck of a cutting-edge autonomous vessel as it glides silently through the open sea, the sun rising over a horizon that only a few get to claim as their office. You´ll lead all customer-facing operational activities for Marine Autonomous Systems—including surface, underwater and submersible platforms. Own deployment planning, sea trials, operator training, in‑theatre support, maintenance and mission‑data feedback to ensure fleet readiness and customer success.
At Destinus, we are revolutionizing the defense industry with cutting-edge Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Our innovative technologies are designed to meet the unique demands of modern defense operations, delivering unparalleled speed, precision, and cost effectiveness. Destinus partners with government agencies and defense organizations worldwide to provide advanced solutions for mission-critical operations, enabling a new era of efficiency and technological superiority. Join us in shaping the future of defense with groundbreaking aerospace innovations.

WHAT YOU´LL DO

  • Deployment & Sea Trials – plan and execute harbour acceptance tests (HAT) and sea acceptance tests (SAT), first‑of‑class trials and operational hand‑over.
  • Customer Readiness – develop and deliver training curricula, CONOPS materials, technical publications and simulator updates.
  • Mission Support – run 24/7 support desk, spare‑parts pipeline, field‑service engineer scheduling and emergency repair teams.
  • Performance Analytics – capture mission logs, failure data and usage metrics; feed Voice‑of‑Fleet insights back to Product, Engineering and Manufacturing.
  • Safety & Compliance – enforce naval safety regulations, range‑test procedures and export‑control requirements (ITAR/EAR).
  • Stakeholder Liaison – act as senior Destinus representative aboard ships, test ranges and naval bases; brief flag‑officers and local regulators.
